To save costs and avoid redundancy Olympus is considering to merge the medical and imaging division by April 2015. The official document describing Olympus intentions can be seen here: Olympus Japan (translated via google).

What this means exactly for the camera division isn’t clear but to me it sounds likely that Olympus will “dismiss” some employees. Hope I am wrong with that assumption.
